I'm 23 years old and have been diagnosed pcos since I was 14 through blood work and other various symptoms. I have it pretty severe and get every bad symptom besides acne if not treated. I was on a few different birth control that didn't work and thought I finally found the answer when I got prescribed Yasmin. It helped a lot of my symptoms out. Lost a lot of weight, and felt like I wasn't losing as much hair.
Fast forward 2 years later and I suddenly started getting my period every 2 weeks and started expirencing horrible pain and pressure. Went to my OB today and he took me off Yasmin, put me on 12 days of medroxyprogesterone 10 mg and said he was starting me up on loesterin FE 1.5/30) he said he was putting me on something that's a higher dose but upon reading about it I'm seeing its a lower dose birth control? And then I read that it's to be avoided if you expirence hair loss and that's something that I struggle with. I used to have a beautiful thick hair that's thinned out more and more through out the years so reading this is giving me a lot of anxiety.
I messaged him with my concerns. Still no response. If anyone's taken this bc, what was your expirence with it?
